How to remove front grill?
I'm trying to remove the front grill to do a body color match. Anyone know how to remove the grill? Do I have to remove front bumper as well?

Nope no removal of the bumper is needed. There are two pin like buttons on top dead center, you need to remove the center of them using a flat blade screw driver, get under the cap and twist they pop up and out. Then its just held in place by clips at the bottom of the bumper, you can push in on the grill and it will pop out. I'm sure there is a write up on here, if not on this thread try the M class thread, the grills are essentially the same set up.
